Makes approximately 2½ cups
Ingredients
  • 5 tablespoons Calvados, divided
  • 3 egg yolks
  • ½ vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped, seeds reserved
  • 5 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
  1. In the bottom of a double boiler over medium-high heat, bring water to a simmering boil. In top of double boiler over simmering water, whisk together 4½ tablespoons Calvados, egg yolks, reserved vanilla seeds, and 4 tablespoons sugar. Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens.
  2. Remove from heat, and transfer mixture to a medium stainless-steel mixing bowl set in an ice bath. Continue to whisk until mixture is cooled and thickened.
  3. In a separate medium bowl and using a mixer on medium speed, beat cream, remaining ½ tablespoon Calvados, and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar until medium peaks form. Add cooled egg yolk mixture to cream, and beat until stiff peaks form. Cover, and refrigerate to chill for up to 24 hours.
